After I DA'd myself I went out and bought the music I had been told to destroy in the past - Queen, ELO and the Eagles. How about you, and what did you get?

When I was studying with the goofball brother, he told me to throw out my Led Zeppelin and Guns N Roses. He told me about how he threw out his Nirvana Unplugged album. I didn't listen to him.
Instead, I just dove more into heavier and more questionable stuff. I picked up a Blue Oyster Cult compilation and fell in love with it. I think it was purely because of the song content and titles:
Transmaniacon MC
Cities On Flame With Rock and Roll
Career Of Evil
Burnin' For You
Dominance & Submission
Death Valley NightsMan, just thinking of those songs brings back memories. All those songs would be "questionable" and "frowned upon", and I loved all of them. They were so anti-JW, it was refreshing. I completely indulged in Blue Oyster Cult around the time of my exit, and continued to do so.

Oh yes! Why not? Your mind asks what if I never got involved with this group? Lets see, where was I when life got interrupted? Oh yeah I was young and hot and looking forward to life and a career!!!
I came in in 1972. I gave up all my music after the pioneer sister went through all my albums!
I even gave up the radio and T.V! Oh I was determined to be holy holy!
Do you realize I missed all the music from 1972----------------2002?????
No kidding.
I met and married a man with a fine collection and he is filling me in on the music history I missed. -

Okay, I had to pull out those songs to relive how good they made me feel. Here's some of the "questionable" lyrics:
Transmaniacon MC: "Those who did resign their souls to Transmaniacon MC"
Cities On Flame: "My heart is black and my lips are cold..... My ears will melt and then my eyes"
Career Of Evil: "I'd like to do it to your daughter on a dirt road"
Burnin' For You: "I'm living for giving the devil his due"
Dominance & Submission: The evil way Albert Bouchard keeps saying "Submission! SUBMISSION!"
Death Valley Nights: "Bleached by the sun, and scortched by the moon..... 'tween the horror of space and the terror of time"
Boy, did Satan ever have a good hold on me!

Look at the bright side: you were spared from Captain & Tenille's "Muskrat Love". -

I was lucky. My parents were non-confrontational in this aspect. Plus, by the time I enjoyed any music that might be found objectionable I was mostly out anyway, and was exceptional at hiding my stash. (Had to be as my mother should have been a detective rather than a homemaker. She is always on the lookout for someone to screw up.)

Dismembered
Greetings James Free
Yes I did. Back in the 80's I threw away about 50 albums which were important to me. You should have seen the "shit eating grin" the "elder" who influenced my decision had when I told him I took his adviced and threw them away. He all but had an orgasm. It sickens me to this day. To think I allowed that effen fat head to cause me to do that. I've since replaced them all with cd's.
